FAIL
Asked AI to summarise my meeting notes. It summarised a meeting I never had.
Completely fabricated action items, attendees, and decisions. Sent it to my team before I noticed.

WIN
Built a working Postgres migration tool in 40 minutes using Claude.
Would have taken me two days. Didn't even need to Google anything.

AI SAID THIS
"Your sadness is valid, like a deprecated API endpoint."
I asked for emotional support. It gave me a tech metaphor. I actually felt better.

EXPECTATION VS REALITY
Expected: 10x productivity. Reality: I now spend 2h prompting instead of 1h coding.
The context window, the hallucinations, the re-prompting. I think I'm slower now. It's fine.

RANT
Stop calling it 'reasoning'. It's autocomplete with extra steps.
I'm tired of the anthropomorphisation. It doesn't think. It predicts. Brilliant predictions, sure — but let's be honest.

TRIED AI FOR
Tried AI for negotiating my salary. It told me to 'leverage my unique value proposition'.
Yes. I know. That's what I asked you to help me say without sounding like a LinkedIn post.

Our principles
Honest by design.
This platform was built on one idea: people deserve a place to tell the truth about AI — without hype, without shame, and without an audience waiting to dunk on them.
01
No names, no drama
No real names, no company names. What matters is the experience, not who had it.
02
Balanced perspective
AI is neither magic nor useless. Wins and failures are both welcome here.
03
Signal over noise
Short, clear, relatable posts. No essays. No doom. Just what actually happened.
04
No harassment
Focus on situations, not individuals. Keep it about experiences, not attacks.
